Del Toro? - Will Hunting Sep 9, 12:08 9
- I can not see anyone making speeches even close to those of WR and MK last week, for DT. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 12:10
- Him or Wes Anderson -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 12:10 7
  - Yup. Those are the two that come closest with Anderson lacking the darkness of Burton. -- nm - Krusty Sep 9, 12:10 6
    - real answer is probably Henry Selick but he’d have to do a live action -- nm - mr mooch Sep 9, 12:17
    - Right - but he captures the "total control of the medium" aspect that Burton brings to the table. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 12:11 1
      - Yes and has an aesthetic that is very easily recognizable when you're watching his films, the same as Burton. You know it's their films without - Krusty Sep 9, 12:19
    - Wes Anderson was the closest comp I could think of -- nm - mr mooch Sep 9, 12:11 2
      - He’d be my 2nd choice — I think of him as stylized human with GDT being a lot more fantastical in nature. - Will Hunting Sep 9, 12:13
      - think younger and weirder - Burton was just a pup in '88 -- nm - mud Sep 9, 12:12
